Any conditions or notes which apply to the approval are set out below. This approval is subject to compliance with any conditions listed and may not be implemented until it becomes final (see guidance notes). - 1. The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with Article 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals. - 2. Prior to the installation of any new or replacement windows or doors on the north, south and west elevations of the original building, details of the new windows must be approved by the Department and the development undertaken in accordance with these details. Reason: The Department wishes to assess the detailed finish and design as the site lies within a Conservation Area where there is a requirement for development to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the area and insufficient information is provided to confirm that the proposals will either preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the property, as required by Environment Policy 35 and CA/2 of Planning Policy Statement 1/01. - 3. The development shall be carried out in accordance with drawing 05 recieved 9 July 2024. Reason: To ensure that the development is carried out in accordance with the approved layout plans to ensure there is no sleeping accommodation on the ground as the development is in a tidal flood zone. This decision relates to the following drawings and documents received by the Department on 9 July and 2 October 2024: - 01 Site Location Plan - 02 Ground and First Floor Existing Plans - 03 Second and Third Flood Existing Plans - 04 Existing Elevations - 05 Rev E Ground and First Floor Proposed Plans - 06 Second and Third Floor Proposed Plans - 07 Proposed Elevations Flood Risk Assessment This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) The application proposes a viable re-use for a former public house, the loss of which will not undermine the provision of such facilities within Castletown. The development will enhance the character and appearance of the building and, by association Castletown Conservation Area. The development will not give rise to unacceptable impacts in regard to flood risk, highway safety or residential amenity. The development therefore complies with General Policy 2, Environment Policies 10, 13 and 35 and Community Policy 4, together with Section 18(4) of the Town and Country Planning Act (1999).
